The influence of thermal history on temperature-dependent flight performance was investigated in an invasive agricultural pest insect, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae). Flies were exposed to one of
four developmental ...

Background: Malaria affects large parts of the developing world and is responsible for almost 800,000 deaths
annually. As climates change, concerns have arisen as to how this vector-borne disease will be impacted by

The last few decades have seen a growing
number of species invasions globally, including many insect species. In drosophilids, there are several examples of successful invasions, i.e. Zaprionus indianus and Drosophila ...
